Regression models assessing the association between bedside availability and rapid oxytocin use suggest that deliveries in which oxytocin was prepared and available at bedside were nearly 5 times more likely than deliveries in which oxytocin was not available at bedside to have the medication administered within 1 minute postpartum, after adjusting for time of day and maternal risk factors for hemorrhage (adjusted risk ratio [RR] = 4.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.61, 9.16) (Table 2). Here, OXT is linked to hemorrhage.
